Description

Sample datasets of the Stehekin for the running of the VIC model provided by UW Hydro

Usage

STEHE

Format

A list including meteorological forcing data, soil parameters, vegetation parameters, vegetation library, snowband parameters and vegetation forcing data for 16 0.25 degree gridcells. The dataset is provided by the Computational Hydrology group, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington.

This is a list containing:

forcing

10-day hourly meteorological forcing data from 1949-01-01 to 1949-01-10, including precipitation, air temperature, longwave and shortwave radiation, wind speed, vapor pressure, and air pressure.

soil

soil parameters for 16 gridcells.

veg

vegetation parameters for 16 gridcells.

snowbands

elevation band (snow band) parameters.

veglib

vegetation library.

forcing_veg

vegetation forcing data including LAI, fraction of canopy, and albedo. This is generated by simply temporally repeat the values of veglib according to veg.

runoff_table_daily

Three-year daily runoff outputs of the VIC model from 1949-01-01 to 1951-12-31. This is as the sample input data of the streamflow routing model of Lohmann in the form of output table returned by vic(), containing two output variable: OUT_RUNOFF and OUT_BASEFLOW.

streamflow_obs

Observed streamflow series to be the reference to evaluate the streamflow simulation results.
